San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans and quarterbacks Trey Lance and Nate Sudfeld spoke with reporters after Thursday's practice, the second of training camp. Here is everything they had to say. Transcript provided by the San Francisco 49ers Communications staff. Did today feel like a really good day for the defense? "Today was good for the defense, just with the energy that all our guys brought, the way they were working together as a unit. The day we had today was a really good day. I just love to see guys excited, happy to play football, having fun with it and that's what you saw out there today." The DBs had a sequence there where, like every one of them, your first-string guys,

Trey Lance didn't exactly have a great stat line during Thursday's training camp session for the San Francisco 49ers, but head coach Kyle Shanahan says Lance was correct when he said Thursday's practice was better than Wednesday's despite multiple interceptions by the team's quarterbacks.

During day one's session at training camp, Lance went 9-11 with zero interceptions. Cornerback Emmanuel Moseley should have picked one pass, but it was dropped and recorded as a pass breakup, and the other was an incompletion because his receiver slipped and

The sports world lost an icon on Tuesday. Legendary sports broadcaster Vin Scully died at the age of 94. Scully, best known as the long-time voice of the Los Angeles Dodgers, also called other sports during his illustrious career. That includes one game remembered by Bay Area fans as the greatest moment in San Francisco 49ers history. Scully and Hank Stram called the 1981 NFC Championship Game for CBS, a matchup between the 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys. Scully is the voice heard in replays of "The Catch," the throw from quarterback Joe Montana to wide receiver Dwight Clark, launching a
